CHAPTER SEVEN

The safe room was pretty impressive. State of the art. It was equipped to defend against just about anything from tornadoes to body snatchers. That last part addressed Rave’s fear about astral projection, that someone could hurt her while her spirit was away from her body. I think we were probably more secure in that room than we would have been if we accidentally got locked inside Fort Knox. One thing was for sure. She took this stuff seriously.

There was a big overstuffed chair in there along with shelves of candles and curios. I sat on a cushion on the floor with my back to the wall while she sat on the chair.

“I’m going to need some clues as to where to look for your mother, Will. Give me an address. Tell me what the house looks like and what she looks like.”

“I haven’t seen her for a couple of years. So she might have changed her hair. Women do that. But she used to wear it cut to about here.” I made a motion just above my shoulder. “It’s dark brown like mine. At least it was the last time I saw her. She’s average height and weight. Mid-fifties and she hasn’t had any work done, that I know of. 47 Fig Avenue in Fairhope. It’s Sunday afternoon. So she’s probably home.”

“Okay.” She smiled. “Be right back. There’s only one rule. Don’t touch me while I’m gone.”

“What would happen?”

“I might lose the connection. And not get back.”

For some reason that raised the hairs on the back of my neck and I was sorry I’d asked her to do something dangerous for such a frivolous reason.

“Wait!” I practically yelled. “It’s not worth it. I didn’t know there was a possibility of… that.”

“Don’t worry, Will. As long as you don’t touch me, everything will be fine. See you in a few.”

At that she was gone. How did I know she was gone? Because all the light went out of her body. She didn’t exactly look gray and she didn’t exactly look dead, but she definitely didn’t look like anybody was home. The glow that shone from her was missing. Her arms rested on the plush furniture. Her head had dropped so that her chin was against her chest.

It seemed that I could rule out delusion. I wasn’t sure that I could name what was happening, but it was something. There was nothing to do but slump back against the wall and wait.

About five minutes later I heard a whoosh sound. Ravish took in a deep breath, raised her head, and the light came back into her body. Then she laughed out loud.

“Your mother is a hoot, Will. She’s giving some handsome guy, who I’m guessing is your dad, what for about flowers. She wants them to stay where they are. He wants to move them somewhere because they draw bees and the bees are a nuisance.”

I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. “Will I get reception in here?”

“Of course.
